About this map

Fort Sill anchors this topographic study of Comanche County, Oklahoma, revealing a landscape defined by military operations and cultural heritage. The northern reaches show the recreational and scenic waters of Lake Lawtonka near the resort community of Medicine Park, while the southern sector transitions into the urban expansion of Lawton. Significant genealogical and local history markers are present throughout, including the Mt Scott Comanche Mission and the Fort Sill Indian School. The terrain is characterized by a series of prominent rises such as Signal Mountain and the Medicine Bluffs overlooking Medicine Creek. This document captures the evolution of transportation in the region, noting the arrival of the H E Bailey Turnpike alongside the established routes of the St Louis San Francisco and the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific railroads.
